Much as I like Git, I'm not sure I like the idea of the artefacts depending on the git commit and therefore on the entire git history. I rather feel the artefacts should only depend on the actual source and not on a particular version control system used for storing the source.
You're welcome to include full sources, or not-tied-to-git directions to acquire them, with your release binaries.
Regardless, whether or not you do that is a discussion of distribution format, not binary reproducibility. Your distribution can contain as much (or as little) additional material as you like along with your release binaries.
Absolutely. I'm just stating my personal preference, that's all.
